The distance a cargo ship travels is proportional to time. In 2 hours, the ship travels 53 miles. The relationship between distance and time can be represented as y = kx, where x is the time, in hours, and y is the distance, in miles. What is the value of k for this ship?​

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason i got 26:

-we substitute the letters(variables) and have 52=(k)2

but what is k? k is y divided by x (just like y is k times x)

look a the sides they are perpendicular

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -12x + 36 + y^2 = 36

x^2 + y^2 = 12x

r^2 = 12rcos(theta)

r = 12 cos(theta)
